The "CAMP" ride

[young1]

Okay okay, what does CAMP mean (and for you Aucklanders it means something different down this end of the country and it doesn't involve dressing up in women's clothing...)
Colin Along (with) Mike (and) Phil (adventure ride).

In other words the TTTTT ride but different.

Again we promise you tunnels, a swing bridge, good gravel, lunch at the Whangamomona Pub, an overnight at the Awakino Hotel (on the Saturday), a New Plymouth start, a waterfall, good company and awesome roads including the world famous (in New Zealand) Kiwi Rd.

There are two possible weekends for this ride, if you are thinking of doing the ride reply to this forum to let us know if one or both dates suit you.

The dates are weekend of;

11 / 12 / 13 November
25 / 26 / 27 November


Once we sort dates I can post more information

This is an indication from you only, we will confirm numbers once the date is sorted.

[nooles]

Both dates suit me

Cheers Neal.

The latter date would probaly suit me better, but could do either or.

25-27 would be good. Kiwi Rd awesome! Last time I went there I inadvertently rode in some farmers property for a few of km's - someone had switched the sign around :facepalm:

[suzieq]

25 - 27th Nov would be best for me - Sounds great, being an Aucklander, I will do my best to dress appropriately for the occasion - but it will be a tough one LOL

A true adventure - I like!

[ducatijim]

Yeah, 26-7 Mike, you should maybe(?)stay away from the 12th and not compete(?) with the Kaipara 200, which many here will no doubt be going too?:scooter:

I have not graced the Naki with my shadow in a very long time, a very long time, it would be nice to visit again.

[Steelie]

:yes: Keen as. Pefer the late date.

cheers

[Pikey]

25/26/27 good for me.:scooter:

[Gman71]

25-27


12 is the kaipara.

[Waihou Thumper]

Last weekend in Nov is good. As said above, most of us will be heading to Kaipara too :)

[5150]

Bugger, can't do last weekend as my BIG birthday party is on the last weekend, so need to be there I guess :facepalm:

[Taz]

Neither suit me :cry:

[tri boy]

Colin, Phil,and Mike..........
Yeah, theyre pretty "camp"

Will check my diary, to see if I'm booked to operate a wheelbarrow and spade those weekends.
Yeah,nah, yeah:blink:

[Dont Know]

25 - 26 Nov is good for me.

Can I stay at Hotel Colin again.

Cheers

[Cary]

Settled, sounds like everyone wants 11,12,13 then :baby:

[MXNUT]

25 - 26 Nov is good for me.



Cheers

Yep thats the weekend that works for me too

[nic]

25th - 27th would suit me best:yes:....I'm intending to do the Kaipara200 too :woohoo:

[marks]

I'm sorry

I tried really really hard not to but I can no longer resist asking if you have to own a DR650 to come on this ride?

[young1]

I'm sorry

I tried really really hard not to but I can no longer resist asking if you have to own a DR650 to come on this ride?

You have got me worried, how many do you think are planning to come?

[Phreaky Phil]

I'm sorry

I tried really really hard not to but I can no longer resist asking if you have to own a DR650 to come on this ride?Yes, and that pile of scrap in the wheel barrow doesnt count as a DR650 :killingme

[marks]

You have got me worried, how many do you think are planning to come?

lots and lots

according to wikipedia camp = ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical, and effeminate

sounds like something that would strongly appeal to DR riders..... :yes:

they'll be like moths to a flame

[marks]

Yes, and that pile of scrap in the wheel barrow doesnt count as a DR650 :killingme


the only difference between a wheelbarrow and a DR is a wheelbarrow does have some character

You can blame Young1 for the name. :facepalm:

[That looks like fun]

25 - 26 Nov is good for me.

I have already turned the duvet down and put on the elecky blanky for you :love:

What's exaggerated and ostentatious about a DR?
The suspension travel? :mellow:
The power delivery? <_<
The cutting-edge Dakar styling? :facepalm:

You clearly have a bit of a soft spot for DRs :shutup:

[.chris]

I would probably be keen for the later of the 2 days ( Also intend on doing the Kaipara 200 )

[bart]

My DR can only make the early dates.

[Crisis management]

You're a bunch of bastards, I'm already into the Kaipara 200 so that's the 12th used up and an ex-mate of mine has persuaded me to ride round Taupo on the 26th.

Fuckers, I missed the last one as well. :angry:











I'll untwist my frilly knickers in about a month. :crybaby:

[That looks like fun]

Get those knickers untwisted :love:
There might be a suprise early next year :innocent:
Slightly less liquifaction ride maybe? :scooter:



Tally ho, I will close the gate chaps:bye:

[Team Buffoon]

Well pse do organise another, sounds like a great w/e. I am back at sea for both these dates and Clint's MMM. It's a bugger earning a crust on the briney sometimes.

[young1]

The ride will be 25, 26 and 27 November.

Start in New Plymouth early on the Saturday and plans are to finish at Taumarunui around Sunday lunchtime.

The ride is,

On easy gravel and twisty sealed roads
Big bike friendly
Suitable for pillions


Accommodation;

Friday night - we have various options but need to see how many are coming first, not expensive though.
Saturday night - Awakino hotel (I will find costs this week and will update at the same time as I put the calendar entry up). You will need to book your own accomodation. For those who have not stayed there before it is an awesome typical country pub!


Again we promise tunnels, Whangamomona Pub, Mt Dampner water fall, Kiwi Road etc!

[That looks like fun]

As Mike has said there will be Tunnels, Including a Stock Tunnel (unless you have a pit bike and a ramp I doubt you will ride through it :scooter: ) Some of the twistiest tar-seal rds Taranaki has to offer and the usual fine selection of Gravel. Plus a chance to play on the beach if the tide is right. :woohoo:







But no mud ok :facepalm:
